Starobogatov (1932- 2004) has described more than a thousand molluscan taxa of various rank. A considerable part of these are names of freshwater gastropod species introduced by him (often with coauthors). This issue is devoted to a state-of-the-art review of Starobogatov's species of the three families: Lym­ naeidae, Planorbidae, and Physidae ( 101 taxa in total). The data include a complete bibliography of the species, an information about the types, ecology, distribution, as well as illustrations based on the type series.

Glyptophysa novaehollandica, dorsal view of head-foot, NW Australia. Photo J. Walker. Distribution of Glyptophysa (Glyptophysa) novaehollandica. data indicate that the species units we are here using appear to be justified, however they are not accompanied by clear-cut morphological characters that allow separation based on shell characters alone. As the species units appear to be overall concordant with state boundaries, we have used these boundaries to aid delimiting species. This situation is not ideal, and can only be resolved by additional molecular and morphological studies involving dense sampling. Diagnostic features The taxonomy of Glyptophysa is very poorly understood. This is one of several species of relatively smooth shelled Glyptophysa that are variable in shape and in periostracal development (periostracal hairs and spirals can be present), even within a single population. A large number of species-group names are available and it is quite possible that more species occur in Australia. At present we are recognising only three, in addition to G. aliciae. This species is one of three that we are somewhat tentatively recognising (see statement under Notes) that were previsously referred to as Glyptophysa gibbosa (now treated as a synomym of G. novaehollandica). These taxa are in need of revision, as the species concepts we have used have not been rigorously tested.

  • Aplexa Hypnorum (Gastropoda: Physidae) Exerts Competition on Two Lymnaeid Species in Periodically Dried Ditches
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 52 (2016) 379–386 Available online at: Ó The authors, 2016 www.limnology-journal.org DOI: 10.1051/limn/2016022 Aplexa hypnorum (Gastropoda: Physidae) exerts competition on two lymnaeid species in periodically dried ditches Daniel Rondelaud, Philippe Vignoles and Gilles Dreyfuss* Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Pharmacy, 87025 Limoges Cedex, France Received 26 November 2014; Accepted 2 September 2016 Abstract – Samples of adult Aplexa hypnorum were experimentally introduced into periodically dried ditches colonized by Galba truncatula or Omphiscola glabra to monitor the distribution and density of these snail species from 2002 to 2008, and to compare these values with those noted in control sites only frequented by either lymnaeid. The introduction of A. hypnorum into each ditch was followed by the progressive coloni- zation of the entire habitat by the physid and progressive reduction of the portion occupied by the lymnaeid towards the upstream extremity of the ditch. Moreover, the size of the lymnaeid population decreased significantly over the 7-year period, with values noted in 2008 that were significantly lower than those recorded in 2002. In contrast, the mean densities were relatively stable in the sites only occupied by G. truncatula or O. glabra. Laboratory investigations were also carried out by placing juvenile, intermediate or adult physids in aquaria in the presence of juvenile, intermediate or adult G. truncatula (or O. glabra) for 30 days. The life stage of A. hypnorum had a significant influence on the survival of each lymnaeid. In snail combinations, this survival was significantly lower for adult G. truncatula (or O.

Taylor1 1 Mailing address: P.O. Box 5532, Eugene, Oregon 97405. Abstract: Physidae, a world-wide family of freshwater snails with about 80 species, are reclassified by pro- gressive characters of the penial complex (the terminal male reproductive system): form and composition of penial sheath and preputium, proportions and structure of penis, presence or absence of penial stylet, site of pore of penial canal, and number and insertions of penial retractor muscles. Observation of these characters, many not recognized previously, has been possible only by the technique used in anesthetizing, fixing, and preserving. These progressive characters are the principal basis of 23 genera, four grades and four clades within the family. The two established subfamilies are divided into seven new tribes including 11 new genera, with diagnoses and lists of species referred to each. Proposed as new are: in Aplexinae, Austrinautini, with Austrinauta g.n. and Caribnauta harryi g.n., nom.nov.; Aplexini; Amecanautini with Amecanauta jaliscoensis g.n., sp.n., Mexinauta g.n., and Mayabina g.n., with M. petenensis, polita, sanctijohannis, tempisquensis spp.nn., Tropinauta sinusdul- censis g.n., sp.n.; and Stenophysini, with Stenophysa spathidophallus sp.n.; in Physinae, Haitiini, with Haitia moreleti sp.n.; Physini, with Laurentiphysa chippevarum g.n., sp.n., Physa mirollii nom.nov.; and Physellini, with Chiapaphysa g.n., and C. grijalvae, C. pacifica spp.nn., Utahphysa g.n., Archiphysa g.n., with A.

Current knowledge of the distribution of species of freshwater gastropods in the prairie states of South Dakota and Nebraska is sparse with no recent comprehensive studies. Historical surveys of gastropods in this region were conducted in the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and most current studies that include gastropods do not identify individuals to species.

Clark and Charles Lydeard University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 15-18 March 2004 Acknowledgments We must begin by acknowledging Dr. Jack Burch of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. The vast majority of the information contained within this workbook is directly attributed to his extraordinary contributions in malacology spanning nearly a half century. His exceptional breadth of knowledge of mollusks has enabled him to synthesize and provide priceless volumes of not only freshwater, but terrestrial mollusks, as well. A feat few, if any malacologist could accomplish today. Dr. Burch is also very generous with his time and work.

  • Distribution and Habitats of the Alien Invader Freshwater Snail Physa Acuta in South Africa
    Distribution and habitats of the alien invader freshwater snail Physa acuta in South Africa KN de Kock* and CT Wolmarans School of Environmental Sciences and Development, Zoology, Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University, Private Bag X6001, Potchefstroom 2520, South Africa Abstract This article focuses on the geographical distribution and habitats of the invader freshwater snail species Physa acuta as reflected by samples taken from 758 collection sites on record in the database of the National Freshwater Snail Collection (NFSC) at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University. This species is currently the second most widespread 1 alien invader freshwater snail species in South Africa. The 121 different loci ( /16- degree squares) from which the samples were collected, reflect a wide but discontinuous distribution mainly clustered around the major ports and urban centres of South Africa. Details of each habitat as described by collectors during surveys were statistically analysed, as well as altitude and mean annual air temperatures and rainfall for each locality. This species was reported from all types of water-bodies rep- resented in the database, but the largest number of samples was recovered from dams and rivers. Chi-square and effect size values were calculated and an integrated decision tree constructed from the data which indicated that temperature, altitude and types of water-bodies were the important factors that significantly influenced the distribution ofP. acuta in South Africa. Its slow progress in invading the relatively undisturbed water-bodies in the Kruger National Park as compared to the recently introduced invader freshwater snail species, Tarebia granifera, is briefly discussed.

  • A Conservation Assessment of the Freshwater Gastropods of South Dakota Based on Historical Records and Recent Observations
    bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/309385; this version posted April 27, 2018. The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted bioRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under aCC-BY-NC 4.0 International license. A conservation assessment of the freshwater gastropods of South Dakota based on historical records and recent observations In South Dakota, like most U.S. states, up-to-date knowledge of the distribution of freshwater gastropod species is lacking and historical data suffers from a host of synonyms. I consulted literature records and online museum databases to compile a list of freshwater gastropods historically recorded for South Dakota. I used systematic studies and regional records to evaluate each historically-listed species reducing 54 nominal species to 25 expected to inhabit South Dakota. This, along with recent survey data from across the state, enable a benchmark conservation status to be established for the freshwater gastropods of South Dakota. My preliminary conservation evaluation indicates Planorbula armigera is critically imperiled (S1), while three species; Ferrissia rivularis, Campeloma decisum, and Amnicola limosus are imperiled (S2). The status of historical species not observed recently, and suspected inhabitants known from adjacent states are discussed.

  • Pulmonate Snail Survey and Status in the Jordan River, UT, 2014
    May 20, 2015 Unionoida Mussel and Non- Pulmonate Snail Survey and Status in the Jordan River, UT, 2014 Final Report Prepared for: Theron Miller, Ph.D. Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility Salt Lake City, UT and Leland Myers Central Davis Sewer District Kaysville, UT Prepared by: David C. Richards, Ph.D. OreoHelix Consulting P. O. Box 996 Moab, UT 84532 Phone: 406.580.7816 Email: [email protected] May 20, 2015 Unionoida Mussel and Non- Pulmonate Snail Survey and Status in the Jordan River, UT SUMMARY North America supports the richest diversity of freshwater mollusks on the planet. Although the western USA is relatively mollusk depauperate, the one exception is the rich molluskan fauna of the Bonneville Basin area, including drainages that enter terminal Great Salt Lake (e.g. Utah Lake, Jordan River, Bear River, etc.). There are at least seventy freshwater mollusk taxa reported from UT, many of which are endemics to the Bonneville Basin and their evolution and distribution are strongly linked with the geological and geomorphic history of pluvial Lake Bonneville. These mollusk taxa serve vital ecosystem functions and are truly a Utah natural heritage. Unfortunately, freshwater mollusks are also the most imperiled animal groups in the world; including those found in UT. Despite this unique and irreplaceable natural heritage, the taxonomy, distribution, status, and ecologies of Utah’s freshwater mollusks are poorly known. Very few mollusk specific surveys have been conducted in UT. In addition, specialized training, survey methods, and identification of freshwater mollusks are required. EPA recently recommended changes in freshwater ammonia criteria based primarily on sensitive freshwater mollusks, including non-pulmonate snails and unionid taxa found in the eastern USA.
